A local news crew from Phoenix, Arizona, caught him leaving the plane and walking through the airport, and when they tried to ambush him with questions, Phelps told them off on live TV.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“If you want to do an interview, you can contact my agency,” he told the reporter. “I appreciate you coming but I’m trying to get my family home safe and that’s what matters the most.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Welcome home, Phelps, and enjoy retirement<\/a>!\u00a0<\/p>\n
